"A Top 10 favourite, Lost is the fourth scripted series to premiere on
CTV since the beginning of the month," said Susanne Boyce, President,
Creative, Content and Channels, CTV Inc. "After last year's explosive season
finale, this is surely the most-anticipated new season yet."
With only 48 original episodes left until the series finale airs in 2010,
this season truly is the beginning of the end, with the promise of the
castaways' rescue at hand. Jack has radioed a freighter stationed somewhere
off the coast of the island. But when it's discovered that Charlie's dying
warning was that these people may not be who they say they are, the castaways
are split as to what to do.
The band of friends, family, enemies and strangers must continue to work
together against the cruel weather and harsh terrain if they want to stay
alive. But as they have discovered during their 90-plus days on the island,
danger and mystery lurk around every corner, and those they have come to trust
may turn against them. Even heroes have secrets.
The special Lost: Past, Present &amp; Future (Thursday, Jan. 31 at 8 p.m. ET)
explores the series in a way that will bring new viewers up to date - and that
diehard fans will find illuminating in anticipation of the fourth season
premiere episode. The special takes an in-depth look at the mysteries of both
the island and its inhabitants and recaps the secrets that have been revealed,
as well as those that remain a mystery.
In the Season 4 premiere episode "The Beginning of the End" (Thursday,
Jan. 31 at 9 p.m. ET), with their rescue close at hand, the remaining
survivors of Flight 815 don't know whether or not to believe Charlie's final
message that the people promising to liberate them are not who they seem to
be.
Season 4 stars Naveen Andrews as Sayid, Henry Ian Cusick as Desmond,
Emilie de Ravin as Claire, Michael Emerson as Ben, Matthew Fox as Jack, Jorge
Garcia as Hurley, Josh Holloway as Sawyer, Daniel Dae Kim as Jin, Yunjin Kim
as Sun, Evangeline Lilly as Kate, Elizabeth Mitchell as Juliet, Terry O'Quinn
as Locke and Harold Perrineau as Michael.
